Geophysical Atlas of the Møre and Vøring Basins

The Geological Atlas of the Møre and Vøring Basins (MV12) is an updated version for 22nd licensing round which is focused on improved interpretation of the volcanic complexes on the outer Møre and Vøring basins, sub-basalt interpretation, and sediments-basalt interaction.

The main focus of the atlas are:

petroleum potential of the sub-basalt acreage

to increase knowledge and understanding of the process that control breakup-related volcanism and their effect on the petroleum system

to give comprehensive overview of the structure and development of the outer Møre and Vøring basins based on SGM interpretation

seismic volcanostratigraphy for improved interpretation of basalt and sub-basalt prospects

The 21st licensing round atlas focuses on the announced blocks in the northern Vøring Basin, Vøring Marginal High, and central Møre Margin. Sixteen of the blocks are situated in areas where pre-Eocene successions are overlain by volcanic extrusive complexes, whereas 35 of the blocks are intruded by sills and pierced by hydrothermal vent complexes.
